RE: TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?

The Stryker is a good planform for conversion to rocket power. Did you fly it with rocket power vertical flight only or did you air start the rocket in flight?

RE: TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?

I would suggest locating the rocket motor as close to the pitch and yaw centerlines as possible. Right on centerline would be ideal. However if you have to offset it then point the rocket motor...

RE: TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?

RE: TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?

The Loop was most likely a result of off center thrust, camber air foil or CG/Cp shift. Airfoils with camber will loop so be prepared to correct for it quickly. If motor is located off of the...
